A word from our Worshipful Master
W. Bro. Regan Lewis
Brethren
June has arrived and with it our final meeting before we enter darkness. During the hours of darkness our Secretary will take care of our lodge.
I’m looking forward to attending Grand Lodge in Terrace this year, along with a number of brethren from our lodge. As our DDGM R.W. Bro. Bain becomes our IP DDGM and V.W. Bro. McCarthy Sr. takes a well deserved break, soon to be installed V.W. Bro. Hatchwell will assume the role of Grand Sword Bearer for 2024-2025.
Congratulations to all brethren who have, continue to, and will soon serve Grand Lodge. Also my deepest appreciation to you, the brethren of Dogwood Lodge who have assisted myself and our lodge in all that you do. You have made my term as your Worshipful Master more enjoyable than I could have imagined.

The Bluenose and it's Masonic Connection
The famed schooner Bluenose was launched on March 26, 1921. As she celebrates her 100th birthday it might be interesting to note her Masonic connections.
This beautiful and well known ship was designed by a Mason, owned by Masons, and crewed by Masons.
Bluenose was a fishing and racing gaff rig schooner built in 1921. A celebrated racing ship and fishing vessel, Bluenose under the command of Angus Walters (a Mason), became a provincial icon for Nova Scotia and an important Canadian symbol in the 1930s. Nicknamed the "Queen of the North Atlantic", she was later commemorated by a replica, Bluenose II, built in 1963. The name Bluenose was used as a nickname for Nova Scotians as early as the late 18th century.
